How is this in a way related to that or not gaf about creators? I pay €14/mo to not have ads on YouTube. It's good they have the skip feature for those sponsor segments, since they're just embedded ads. Creators still benefit

Websites are moving towards providing md5/sha1/sha256 hashes of your normalized email (stripping the + from gmail) or phone number to advertisers. A basically permanent ID. Unified ID2 is one version of this. The 3rd party cookie

Dumping third-party cookies is going to cause people's privacy to end up in a way worse position. Almost all of ad tech is moving towards identifiers like hashed normalized emails (e.g. removing +'s from gmail), phone numbers, nam

They don't have ideal.ing though, waiting for the first scams to start popping up. iDEAL is the payment system in the Netherlands. And they use ideal.ing.nl for it.

If you use etags it's up to R2. I'm assuming R2 is consistent here. So if you write to the same file twice, one write will succeed before the other and change the etag of the file, which should in theory cause the other request to

Couldn't the library implement a conditional operation using the etag, retrying if it fails? That should solve the consistency guarantee. Ofc its a different matter if you write to the same key in the same file. But that could be solve

Depends? I remember WhatsApp being bought by Facebook (and subsequent privacy issues) being in the news a lot in the Netherlands. Most people either don't care or everyone around them only uses WhatsApp for chat making it difficult to

Your first link is incorrect, it should be: https://mijn.overheid.nl/.well-known/security.txt which redirects to the second one.

No, I only really know this because it was in the local news a while ago and though it was interesting / related to the OP.

Here in the Netherlands they decided to increase the water level of our lakes by 5cm to handle the drought season this year. Since the amount of snowfall in the Alps was lower than normal. https://www.rijkswaterstaat.nl/nieu

The GeForce Now leak was pretty big as well, leaked tons of unannounced games. There was also a leak of one of Ubisoft's games, not sure about source code.

Pretty sure the GDPR does say that. eitherway, what is the EU going to do a about it?

by wombarly 4y ago
iirc Gdpr only applies if you target EU citizens. Blocking the EU from their website means they aren't targeting EU citizens.

People who DDOS sites usually attack the homepage. If they attack a dynamic page, check if you can cache them for 30 or 60 seconds. Pretty close to real time. If you have cookie based authentication for those pages, its going to be difficul

Cloudflare detects the DDOS and will block it, notifying you by email. We almost never use the Under Attack Mode unless it's actually affecting us. The biggest thing we do to help ourselves when we're under attack is making sure t

Why would we care how CloudFlare handles that behind the scenes? They offer an amazing product for the value. Why shouldn't we take them up on it? Besides its not like we're not paying them anything, our monthly bill with them is

What kind of numbers do you want? Last month we used 200TB+ in bandwidth across all our sites, no bandwidth charges from CF. 120TB of that is our CDN backed by a Cloud provider, we had to only pay them for 3TB in bandwidth charges. During p

Yea our sites used to be DDOSed daily for 2 months. We're now getting a DDOS once or twice a week. Edit: Some numbers, most of them are between 2k-5k requests per second. But we had some with 20k-30k rps.

Because without CloudFlare we would: Pay thousands in bandwidth costs per month; Double or triple our servers to handle peaks (they cache and serve the HTML for us); Be down constantly because of DDOS attacks.
